They are all really nice bikes. The Deuce is treated like a red-headed step-child by the parts guys. Disproportionate amount of aftermarket accessories for Deuces relative to the other Softail models as evidenced by the "except FXSTD" seen under the description for most parts.

Springer looks good but requires alot more service in the long run. Kneck bearing replacement. Don't ever buy a springer withoutExtended Warranty. 10k adds 2.0 hours. If you do your own service and skip the front end it ride like a dump truck.

i bought the springer ,w/o extended its not that much more to have the service done. what an extra 200 dollars or so ? i wouldnt let that stop ya from buying a springer , they are both nice tho , buy the one ya want the most , cause the service difference aint nothing...

o , i thought you said it requires ALOT MORE SERVICE,and why buy the extended warrenty just for the springer ? i have to pay for my 5k 10k services? i didnt know they were covered under the extended warrenty?

I keep hearing this extra maintance on springer and there is a off set on the front wheel, but I have boo coo miles on mine and neck bearings fine ( I check cause of all the hub bub). a while back, there still goingggggg.
